I’ve painted up a couple more of my Artizan Designs DAK Germans to add to the collection. Here’s another Rifle carrying infantryman and a lucky Jerry with an MG34.
I always thought the 34 was called “Hitler’s Buzzsaw” but apparently that was actually the MG42 which came later. Who says you can’t learn anything from games!
I have two more DAK Germans to paint and that makes a seven man Rifle/MG squad. Plenty of the Fatherland’s finest for some Pulp gaming action in Egypt and North Africa I suspect! Although I am lacking a suitably menacing gentleman to mastermind the whole operation.
Of course they need a ride too so I’ve finished assembling and priming my first EBob Miniatures 1/56th Opel Blitz. Here it is parked next to the MG34 chap.
I picked up some interesting weathering tips involving Marmite of all things in Issue #6 of Military Modelling International that I’m ready to try on this truck. There’s talk of a vehicle painting competition over on the Pityak forum which may inspire me to start applying paint!
Your Germans/Pulp Villians are looking really good. Can’t wait to see what you do with the Opel. Will the sinister gentleman be getting a Tamiya Citroen to ride around in?

Happy holidays and best wishes for a great 2007.

Hi Pagumb, I’m really enjoying painting these DAK Germans, they’re great 28mm figures.
I’ve been eyeing the 1:48th Tamiya vehicles for a while, but the two Opels I have are 1:56th scale so there’s a bit of a mismatch there. There’s several 1:56th WWII vehicle manufacturers like
Bolt Action Miniatures
Army Group North
Chieftan Models
that are calling to me. In particular I’d like a German armored car to convoy with the Opel as well.
Have a good Xmas too!
